Hello,

Recently brought my Italian 206cc from Italy, and need to change the plates. problem is the plates are attached with rivets rather than screws. Anyone got any tips on how to get the old plates off without the use of too much brute force, specialised tools?

Cheers
BP

I'd try using a pointed grinding stone in an electric drill to grind the flanges off the rivets.
